  1. The elements of a fable are very few characters, animated, inanimate, or personified. Other elements include the plot being very simple, and the theme provides a message, a moral, or personal benefit. The mood of a fable reflects human strength, frailties, weaknesses or imperfections. Basically, a fable is a short story and the characters are sometimes animals with human qualities, that learn a lesson at the end.

  2. The elements of a fable are the characters, the setting, the plot, the theme, and the mood style. All of these elements come together and make a fable. In my fable I will make sure to include all of those things. There would be a set of characters, the setting would be some where, I would have a set theme, and there would be a certain mood style all through out the story.

  3. What is a Fable? Well a fable is an short, simple story, usually with animals as characters, designed to teach a moral truth. That is the basic outline of what mine will be. I feel like I will write a farely good fable cause you can be very creative. Im not a very good writer but if I have enough writing freedom I think I will do good.

  4. Elements of a fable are a short story including a moral or lesson, usualy including animal characters. In my fable I will incluse many animal characters. The main plot will lead up to a lesson including humor. Most fables include lessons using common sence. For example the fable with the 4 brothers and lion, the brothers bring the lion back to life not realizing the lion would kill them when he was alive.

  5. In a fable they usally use a animal to show the moral of the story. A moral of a story is a life moto to live by. For example, in the elephant fable the elephant gets to arrogant with his dominance. He thought he was the best and that was his downfall. In my fable I will be using animal characters to show the moral of the fable. The animals would include a trickster and the main animal that gets tricked.

  7. The elements in a fable are to get a moral across. When reading a fable, you're supposed to understand a message through it. Normally, fables use animal characters so the point of the fable is easier to come across. In my fable, I'm going to include animals going through a rough time. In the end, the situation will get better and a lesson will be learned.

  8. The elements in a fable can differ from any other type of story. The characters are usually animals. A fable is usually short and simple. The fable will contain a type of life lesson or moral. In my fable im writing about two animals who go to school together and get picked on by a bully. The ending will be that the bully gets caught and in trouble. The moral of the story is to treat others the way you want to be treated and to never back down.

  9. A fable consists of animals that take on human roles. The stories are not long, but have a grater meaning buried into it. In all the fables there is a moral. In my fable I want to show a animal who think they can get away with doing something to another without anything happening to them. I'm basically displaying karma in my fable.

  12. Fables usually have animals that have human characteristics. There will usually be a trickster who is also the protagonist and then the one he tricks will be the antagonist. The trickster will use his wits and cunning to get the better of the antagonist and become victorious while also teaching a morale. In my fable i will include almost all of these elements. Though I will have the trickster be defeated and his defeat will teach my morale.

  15. The most important element of a fable is that it has a moral. There should be a trickster, and a character who opposes the trickster. In my fable, I include a conflict, a moral, dialogue, and a resolution. The moral of the fable is the most important part of the fable, and it has to be relevent to the story that was just told.

  16. Some elements in a fable is that there must be a moral, and that there are usually only animals in it. There must be a trickster and someone who opposes the trickster. In my fable I have a snake who steals a baseball from a baby duck. The snake gets cursed by a tiger. The moral is that you should never take something that isnt rightfully yours.

  17. There are many elements that make up a fable. Usually a they consist of a moral or lesson and animals that make up the characters. My fable will hold three main characters, a wolf, a fox, and a lion. Though a few other characters will be applied here and there through out the story. I plan on writing in in a more old fashion way of text useing words in an order that would give the reader a sense that it had been written by an author in the past. At least thats what i hope to accomplish in this story.

    In every fable there has to be a moral. There has to be a lesson learned by the end of the story. An example of a moral would be "Treat others the way you want to be treated." I included in my fable animals that have human qualities and by the end of hte story, my moral was "karma comes back to bite you in the butt."

  20. The elements of a fable are the following in fables you must have a moral behind it. A moral is almost like a life lesson in a couple of sentences. In fables you also must have Anthropomorphism, which is where you give animals human like characteristics and usually give them god like roles in the fable. The moral in my fable is as following, being prideful can hurt the process of whatever your trying to achieve.

  27. The fables are usually short and concise, with very few aniamted, personified characters, most of the time they are presented in the forms of animals. The fables usually have a short plot that expresses a moral through its interesting twists and turns.In this, a trickster character is often present, either being the one that gains advantages or loses. The morals are usually about a life lesson that is reflected on the animal characters. In my fable, I include a tricster character, the Fox, along with two other animals, the Bear and the Gator, who are fighting for fish and let the Fox take advantage of.

  32. Some elements of a fable are having animals with human qualities as characters. Fables include a moral or a life lesson. One of the characters is usually a trickster character, and the other is the one who thinks they are all that and better then the rest. In my fable i would include a plot a theme and a moral. In a fable the theme and the style reflects on the characters. Fables are very interesting because they can be funny but also teach you something very important about life.

  34. Fables have many elements. First, there is that the characters are always only animals. Next,there is the personality of the animal characters. Usually there is always a trickster and a bad guy. Finally, there is the fact of each fable having a moral lesson you learn at the end. My fable will include all these elements in it. There is a twist at the end, but the problem gets resolved.

They also contain a trickster and an animal character. With the trickster he is normally the one who really is the reason why the moral comes up. The elements that I would use in my fable are basically the traditional elements that are used.

  36. A fable is short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral. they stories are usually simple but by the end they make an impact. the main pont of a fable is to teach a lesson. in my fable, one character uses superior knowlegde over another. in a sense, karma is used but it shows the consequences of taking advantage of other people and that one can get much more out of life by treating others with kindness.

  39. Fables are usually very short stories. They are very simple. Most characters are animals and usually personify something. Fables always include a moral and a trickster character.

  40. The elements of a fable are, particularly a short story, animals, personification, and a moral. Fable's are very simple and well understood stories. They usually have a trickster and the trickster usually has an opponent. They usually have good endings. In my fable, I will include a lot of personification and and a very good moral that would teach someone a lesson that they would follow for a very long time. I have read a lot of fables that the morals have stuck with me throughout growing up.
